You are watching me replace an Alpine stereo head unit that was installed in my 2001 dodge Dakota with the factory (infinity) stereo head unit.

I'm always leary of doing these projects for fear of breaking some expensive dashboard piece, but this was too easy. Thanks for sharing.

Working on my 2002 dodge Datoka quad today and this was great, thanks. I thought I would have to remove the factory amp. this saved a step.

@Digitallifeconcepts 4 жыл бұрын

Turns out I was able to run the unit through the Stock amp and get it working on the first try. Luck I'm sure. Then added an "all in one" 8'' SpeakerAmp/box " under the driver seat independently powered to Batt. and was able to connect an aftermarket. rear camera to the head unit. So now my old truck sings new.

I have my radio not working in my Dokota sport truck

I have dismantled the dash one a prior occasion in order to change the shift module for the transfer case. This time, though, I needed info on removing and replacing the radio as my radio does not work - which is another story. Now, I see that there may be two different styles of plus on the radios - so, I guess I need to see what style of connector I need in the replacement radio that I procure. Thanx for posting!

I am from the UK and was wondering why the radio names don't show up on old American vehicles and just the frequency numbers find it a bit strange also I was wondering can you keep the frequency number on without the time showing.

@SevenFortyOne 4 жыл бұрын

We didn't have the RDS system until the mid 2000's. Some radios can display just the time or just the frequency...depends on the radio.

Has anyone that has this same year truck had a problem with one speaker only working sometimes ?? My front passenger speaker works only every once in a while.. not sure if it's a loose connection or maybe a problem from the factory stereo... I'm getting ready to install a new stereo in it so I'm hoping that fixes it..

Nice Radio Install! Was happy to see your Dodge Dakota had an On/Off Switch on the Air Bags like my 2004 Dakota. Glad you were able to leave it "plugged In" yet still pull your Dash out a bit. Wondered if you removed the Negative Clamp on your Truck Battery before you began?

the stereo works fine on accessories or when ignition is on, but will you start engine the radio starts losing its signal, what could be causing this ?

I have tilt steering and still was unable to get the front of dash fully removed, as it sticks behind the steering wheel. This is the worst design I have ever seen but I was able to access the back of radio, only to find out they use an odd antenna connector, so was unable to install the FM modulator for my SiriusXM radio. I will be waiting to replace the entire unit soon and fix it then using an antenna adaper... if I can pull the dash once more without breaking it in two XD.

My 2004 dakota has tilt steering. To get the bezel off, I had to put the key in and move the gear shift which is on the tree to the 1 position. When I did this and lowered the steering column as much as possible, I could remove the bezel.
